Think about it in a different way. Maria is always obsessively looking for that rose, insisting it is there, but it isn't. She can't find it even though it should be there. Can't you say the same for her mother's love?

True... I wonder if this is just a coincidence?
Also, if we assume that someone took the rose, is it safe to say that someone is "stealing" Rosa's love for Maria?

Maybe... Maybe not...
I like to stick with my theory that someone took it for whatever reason. ^^'
I just find it hard to believe that the wind blew it away. Sure, it was a strong wind, but I doubt it's enough blow a rose away.
Also, keep in mind that the fact that Maria stayed alone in the garden looking for her unexistent rose made things a lot easier for the culprit, or whoever gave her that letter, since their identity would remain a secret.

lol That's true. xD
I always thought that the disapearing rose was just too convenient for the culprit.
Either that, or Maria made everything on purpose (finding the rose, looking for it, etc...) so that she could be alone and receive the letter. If this is true, then I suppose that Maria knows about the plan to kill everyone on the island, so it's safe to say that she's related, in one way or another, with the mastermind.
Yeah, I know it sounds crazy to doubt a litte girl, but the way she talks about magic (especially in EP1) is a bit suspicious. o_o

Hey, I'm sorry if this has been said a million times but i couldn't find an answer easily. SPOILER,

Around the beginning of the chapter, Beatrice states that only 18 people are on the island, doesn't this contradict the existence of a witch? since the 18 people accounted for does not include the witch, she stating that would mean that a witch doesn't even play a part in this story? Can someone explain this >_>

Beato claims that the witch is not a human, and therefore isn't affected by the person limit. Eva-Beatrice claims that the witch is a human who can use magic, but that she's one of the people we already know about (Eva), so she doesn't increase the head count.

I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out before, but Rosa claims to have met Beatrice at a hidden mansion right? Looking at it another way if we beleive what she says and that she met such a hidden person wouldn't that also mean that it would be impossible for her not to think that something else also was hidden there? In other words if she has been to this place before and met this hidden person Shouldn't Rosa have at least a vague idea of a place to look for the hidden gold at? Maybe I'm over thinking it.

I didn't find it strange. In the original phrase in Japanese Beatrice uses the kanji 人(people) . This kanji does just appear on human (人間). Not in witch (魔女)
